A Bloomberg Professional Services Offering UBS Bloomberg CMCI Energy Index State-of-the-Art Commodity Benchmark The UBS Bloomberg CMCI Index family was developed to track real performance of commodity prices and is the first to use up to five constant maturities as well as maintaining broad-based diversification across 29 commodity futures contracts. The index reflects the complete pricing picture and all market opinions while, at the same time, reducing negative roll returns. Daily rolling of futures contracts ensures that the average time-to-maturity in the UBS Bloomberg CMCI Index is kept permanently constant, unlike most traditional indices, which only roll once a month. Indices Historical Performance as of July 2018 The index level does not include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Data as of 07/31/2018. Historically higher risk-adjusted returns compared with first-generation indexes Higher performance and lower volatility Preforms equally well during times of Backwardation
UBS BLOOMBERG CMCI ENERGY INDEX CMCI Characteristics A benchmark for modern commodity investing, reflecting the real nature of commodity markets. Flexible 29 components, 5 maturities Diversification across commodities, futures tenors and roll dates Enhanced roll performance both in Contango and Backwardation Growth Drivers Demand Global trends, including population growth, rising GDP trade expansion as well as globalization push up demand for energy of all kinds. Main driver Global energy intensity of GDP is growing in tandem with transport fuel demand and the strength of developing economies. Limiting factors High prices as well as ecological/ environmental concerns (CO2 emissions) can have some negative effect on demand. Growth Drivers Supply The supply depends heavily on the discovery of new fossil fuel reserves. Political uncertainty, security issues and hurricanes keep supply tight and uncertain. A political example, therefore, could be seen when the OPEC several times reduced oil production in order to keep when oil prices high.
